The crash came after a St. Louis County jury acquitted Pennsylvania resident Daniel Hughes Monday night of molesting a 9-year-old girl whose bed he had mistakenly entered after a night of drinking when a clerk at the Clayton Ritz-Carlton gave him the wrong room key.

Rosenblum's law partner said in a written statement that his co-worker's post-trial exhaustion was to blame for the accident. The 56-year-old Ladue resident was arrested and booked on municipal charges of driving while intoxicated and careless and imprudent driving.
